Segment Financial Results
Heavy Materials: Cement, Concrete and Aggregates
Fiscal 2026 revenue in the Heavy Materials sector, which includes Cement and Concrete and Aggregates, as well as Joint Venture and intersegment
Cement revenue, was up 10% to $1.6 billion, and annual operating earnings also increased 10%, to $341.2 million. Both increases were due primarily to higher Cement and Aggregates sales volume and the contribution from the acquired aggregates
businesses in Western Pennsylvania and Northern Kentucky during the prior year. The sales volume increases were driven by continued strength in public infrastructure construction activity as well as increased construction activity in certain areas
of private non-residential construction.
Fiscal 2026 Cement revenue, including Joint Venture and
intersegment revenue, was up 8% to $1.3 billion, and Cement operating earnings increased 3% to $328.3 million. These increases reflect higher Cement sales volume, partially offset by lower net sales prices. Annual Cement sales volume was
up 8% to 7.5 million tons, while the average annual net Cement sales price for the year decreased 1% to $155.18 per ton.
Fourth
quarter Cement revenue, including Joint Venture and intersegment revenue, was up 15% to $245.7 million, reflecting higher sales volume, partially offset by lower Cement sales prices. Operating earnings increased 31% to $36.1 million,
reflecting higher sales volume and lower operating costs, namely maintenance costs, partially offset by lower net sales prices.
Fourth
quarter Cement sales volume was up 15% to 1.4 million tons. The average net Cement sales price for the quarter decreased 2% to $153.99 per ton.
Fiscal 2026 Concrete and Aggregates revenue increased 19% to $283.3 million, as a result of higher sales volume and $30.6 million of
revenue from the acquired aggregates businesses. Excluding the contribution from the recently acquired businesses, Aggregates revenue increased 6%, and sales volume was up 24%. Concrete and Aggregates operating earnings was $12.9 million in
fiscal 2026.
Fourth quarter Concrete and Aggregates revenue was $58.9 million, an increase of 8%, primarily driven by higher
Aggregates sales volume. Concrete and Aggregates reported a fourth quarter operating loss of $2.6 million, compared with a loss of $9.4 million in the prior-year fourth quarter. The current quarter operating loss primarily reflects normal
seasonal trends in the business, which resulted in lower demand and reduced operating leverage. The prior year’s fourth quarter operating loss included $1.9 million of acquisition-related expenses.
Light Materials: Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard
Fiscal 2026 revenue in the Light Materials sector, which includes Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard, decreased 9% to
$881.4 million, as a result of lower Gypsum Wallboard sales volume and prices. Gypsum Wallboard annual sales volume was 2.8 billion square feet (BSF), down 7% from the prior year because of continued softness in residential construction,
and the average net sales price was down 4% to $226.08 per MSF. Recycled Paperboard annual sales volume was down 3% to 341,000 tons.
Fiscal 2026 Light Materials operating earnings were $331.4 million, a decrease of 15%, resulting principally from lower Gypsum Wallboard
sales volume and net sales prices.
